the QUEENS JUBILEE.

The attendance at the meeting of
British residents held at the British
Club on Friday last, to consider the
manner of celebrating Her Majesty's
Jubilee, and the desirability of es-
tablishing locally some permanent
memorial of the event, was larger
and more enthusiastic than was an
ticipated. The weather was unpro-
pitious, or the gathering might
have been still larger. The feeling
of those present was cordial, and
although there was much desultory
talk, the resolutions adopted took
thoroughly practical direction, and
it is confidently hoped that the re-
suit will be, the adoption of such
plans as will command genera al sat
isfaction.
Major WodehOuse stated from the
chair, in II few well chosen words,
that the love for Her Majesty was
so universal, that he had grounds
for believing the day would be APP
propriately observed. The sugges-
tions were various, the idea of doing
something which should have per-
manent results seeming to meet
with pretty general favor. No
doubt the select committee will re-
port propositions to the adjourned
meeting, next Monday night, in n
definite form and of a nature to Sc
cure approval.
With regard to the establishing
of some permanent result OF the
Queens Jubilee, such as an invested
fund for the benefit of the British
Benevolent Society, a most liberal
and appropriate offer has been made

A CURIOUS STATE OF THINGS.

A gentleman stepped into our
office on Saturday, and at once
stated, without circumlocution, that
the object of his visit was to get
information. He was promptly in
vited to take seat, being assured
at the same time that he had come
to a source popularity believed to
know everything. and thing or two
more, and that if the particular in
formation he desired was in stock
he should have it gratis. A friendly
feeling was thus established between
us and perfect understanding
reached, in less time than is taken
to write it, and our visitor pro-
ceeded to state his question in the
most concise terms. Said he:
:" Are the prisoners in charge of
the town! l see them leisurely
walking around the streets, and into
business establishments and private
houses, with smack of I.don't-
care-a-straw in their movements and
look Of authority in their faces,
from which l get the impression
that they have charge of the town.
Am ] right, or am wrong? That's
what want to know"
This was a poser, although we did
not feel called upon to make con-
fession to that effect. So we as
sumed wise, know-everything,
never-surprised look, affected to re-
gard the question as too simple and
too insignificant for direct reply,
and started out on a periphrastic
answer.
sit is quite clear" said we,
"that you, sir, are not fully cog
nisant of the fact that you are now
in the kingdom OF Hawaii, the sun
and centre of the great prospective
Oceanic confederation. You are
probably European, or perhaps an
American. But you are not now in
Europe nor America, but Hawaii
Your knowledge of those quarters
of the globe will be of no service to
you in this, and your experience
there will most likely prejudice you
against what you see here. Homo
lulu is not Rome, nor Paris, nor
Berlin, nor London, nor New York
but Honolulu. Those cities have
municipal governments, which enact
regulations, which are enforced by
the police and administered by mag
istrates. Here We prefer to have
city affairs managed by the general
government, and as Il consequence
they are in the charge Of no parti-
cular department., and almost any
fellow may assume control when and
as the whim strikes him. The streets
are often taken charge of by car
riages, and unfortunate pedestrians
have to look out for themselves, and
give the right of way to wheels, as
having the prior claim and being

AN IMPORTANT VISITOR.

Mr.. w. j. Forsyth, now on visit
TO this country, having recently ar
rived from the Coast, is a gentleman
that should be gladly welcomed, be-
cause of his knowledge and expert
ence in cinchona cultivation. This
is tree whose bark is very valuable,
and there is reason to believe that it
would thrive on these islands, some
experiments in progress on the
island of Hawaii having so far
strengthened that belief. With few
millions of this valuable tree, matured
and yielding its medicinal bark, the
country would not be, as it now Is,
entirely dependent on sugar. Advan-
tage should be taken of Mr.. Forsyth's
presence here to CLEAN from him as
much information as possible res
pecting the probable adaptability of
our soil and climate for the cinchona
tree, the most suitable localities, the
best methods of cultivation, etc.
These are questions which his varied
and extensive experience eminently
qualify him to deal with. Mr..
Forsyth had contract in Guatemala
for the introduction of the cultiva-
ton of cinchona, to the extent of
5000, 900 trees. This was in 1888
and 1884, and in consideration of
the success attending his efforts, the
Government invited him to attend the
Worlds Exposition at New Orleans,
L. s. A., as their Special Commits
sioncr. In February 1888, previous
TO going to Guatemala, by invita-
ton of the council of the Academy
of Science, San Francisco, he read
a paper before meeting OF its
members, and was thanked for his
able and interesting address. In
1882 Mr.. Forsyth visited the Fiji
and Samoan groups of islands, walk
ed over them, and reported on their
suitability for different tropical pro-
duets. This gentleman was also six
years in Ceylon, engaged in the
cultivation of cinchona, tea, and
coffee, and attained some distinction,
as will be seen by the following ex-
tract from the Ceylon Observer,
which is the leading tropical agricul-
tural journal of the world:-
"Mr. Forsyth of Glassaugh Estate
can now set this question at rest,
and great service will be done
cinchona planters of Ceylon."
The question referred to was the
best method of harvesting cinchona
bark, and was propounded in a lead
ing article on that subject. Again in
"a subsequent issue of the same
journal the editor said:-
Son behalf of a large number
interested in the cultivation Of Gin
chona we beg to thank Mr.. Forsyth
for the useful information he has
furnished"
Now, it would be mistake to
allow a gentleman of so much ex-
perience in a line of cultivation
which Is likely to be source OF
wealth to this country, to come and
60 without the country's deriving
benefit from his visit. 1t seems tC
us Il proper thing for the Govern
mcnt, if an arrangement of the kline
can be made, to secure his services
to the extent of sending him arount
to the different islands of the groul
to report upon the country's posi-
bilities in the direction of sinchon;
production and other tropica
growths, such as tea and coffee.

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEy.

FRIDAY.-Blackstone National Bank VS.. Rich
mono Lane This Is an action upon prOmis-
sorry note for $1,000, dated Boston, June 18TH
1884, signed r. j. Lane, trustee of the estate Of e.
r. Davis. In 1884 Mr.. Lane applied Ia the direct
ors OF the plaintiff bank for a foam of $4,000 rem
resenting that he held certain property fOrmerly
belonging to George L. Davis. a leather board
manufacturer at Saccarappa, who was then finan-
elally embarrassed, and that this property would
be security for the loan; that he wanted the mon
ey for the purpose of carrying on the business of
Davis for the benefit Of the creditors The di-
rectors said they should want other names. and so
the firm of Lane & Chapman, of which II. J. Lane
was Inc senior partner, gave their notes as col
lateral security for the note in suit These Lane
q Chapman notes were renewed from time TO time
until the firm became Lane g. Pratt when their
notes were substituted for Lane & Chipman's
notes. The note in suit says it is collateral for
the Lane & Pratt notes, and tie books of the bank
so show but the President says the fact Is it was
Just the reverse; that the Lane g. Pratt notes
were collateral for The note In suit that the Lane
4 Pratt notes, being on short time, and igned by
a Irresponsible firm, were put on the discount file
ana so that loan was represented by live paper
due.
The defence is that Lane was not authorized TO
borrow money for the trust estate, and that this
Judgment shauld run against him Individually and
not III his capacity trustce they also claim that
mere was no sufficient demand upon Lane before
bringing the suit. TIE real question in controver-
sy seems 10 be whether not the plaintiffs shall
hold certain property that they have attached as
belonging TO the trust estate. decision reserved.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
TAKEN FROM LIFE,


Petits' melodrama of Taken From Life"
was brought out at Portland Theatre last
night in very good shape, by the Phosa Nc
Allister company. The drama is very well
written, its dialogue is pointed and thor
oughly clean and possesses a good deal Of hu-
NOR. The play is well put on the stage, and it
is also well acted. Miss Phosa McAllister is
the heroine, is fine looking, with good stage
presence, and has excellent control of her
self, and is capable emotional actress As
Kate DENLY, she gave much pleasure. MIR.

was very good as John DENLY, and Mr.. w.
ii. Stuart capital villain. Mr.. Bunney as
Titus Knott, was very amusing as the come
dian, and little, Ada Jones deserves great
praise for her acting and songs as the stable
boy. The audience was very. demonstrative,
and the piece was received with great ap-
plause, especially the sensational scenes Of
the play.
MARGARET MATHER.
There was a large advance sale of seats
Yesterday for the performances to be given
by Margaret Mather at Portland Theatre,
next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. 1t
is difficult to decide in which character Miss
Mather is at her best, as the charming Rosa
lind, the wilful julia or the lovesick Juliet.
The best plan is to secure seats for all three
evenings, and thus see the great actress in
all of her moods.
